Postplatyptilia pluvia is a moth of the family Pterophoridae. It is known from Ecuador.[1]

The wingspan is 18–21 mm. Adults are on wing in October.

Etymology

The name reflects the rainy conditions under which the species was collected. On those nights which were dry and moonlit the temperature dropped to freezing, and no collecting could be done.

gollark: Gigabit is 125MB/s or so minus overhead, and HDDs can do that fine.

gollark: They did say they're not "super crazy into [it]", so studying it (in the sense of at some actual educational institution) would probably not be a great idea.

gollark: It's more of a vertical integration thing.

gollark: ARMvwhatever are the ISAs, which ARM licenses, and they design cores for running those too.

gollark: It's a CPU architecture (well, series of them) made by the actual ARM company.
